Your example is too heavily contrived for me to give a much more specific/useful answer than "use the `subprocess` module": http://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html#using-the-subprocess-module Of course, if all you want to do is manipulate environment variables, then there's `os.environ`: http://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html#os.environ Good luck, my pseudonymous contrarian compadre. – Chris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
